Built from practice.

“In over a decade of HR consulting, executive teams and HR departments always ran into the same problems: pay structures that grew historically, no consistent job architecture, data sitting in three systems. That is exactly what Claritava solves.”

What many organisations are experiencing right now

The topic is on the agenda. What is missing is a clear path through the implementation.

The EU Pay Transparency Directive has applied since 7 June 2026. From 250 employees the first report is due by 7 June 2027 and annually thereafter; from 150 employees also from 2027 and every three years after that. German implementing legislation is still pending.

Leadership

At leadership level

Under the EUPTD the burden of proof sits with the employer. Anyone who cannot document pay differences objectively cannot justify them in court.

Finance & legal

In finance and legal

An external pay gap analysis costs EUR 50,000 to 200,000. Ongoing documentation and information requests are not included.

People

In HR

Analyse pay structures, justify gaps, produce reports. Usually alongside day-to-day operations, with the same resources as before.

Your path with Claritava

From the first data import to the finished EUPTD report in three steps.

What consulting projects charge EUR 50,000 to 200,000 a year for, your own team does, with clear guidance and a complete audit trail.

01Step

Import data and create structure

Claritava connects to your HRIS or imports CSV and Excel. The AI recognises your column format, grades every role across 11 factors and sorts it into a clean job architecture.

02Step

Understand pay gaps and act

The pay equity dashboard shows where pay differences exist and why. Claritava separates explainable factors such as experience or working hours from the unexplained gaps and proposes an action for each.

03Step

Create reports and answer requests

Reports are generated with one click, run through your approval workflow and are digitally signed. Article 7 information requests arrive through a public portal in the HR mailbox.

What Claritava actually takes over

Pay transparency is not a one-off project. Claritava supports every step, continuously.

How does Claritava meet the EUPTD reporting requirements?

Claritava calculates the unadjusted and adjusted gender pay gap, produces compliant reports at the click of a button and runs them through a configurable approval workflow with digital signature. The Article 7 information portal is publicly accessible, employees do not need an account.

Which HR systems can be connected?

Personio and BambooHR are natively integrated, HR4YOU via the API. All other systems can be imported via CSV or Excel. The AI recognises your column format and shows a preview before the import.

What does Claritava cost compared with external consultants?

A classic pay gap analysis by an external consultancy costs EUR 50,000 to 200,000 a year, without ongoing documentation. Claritava covers the analysis and ongoing operation from EUR 2,000 a year.

Who in the company works with Claritava?

HR works operationally, management sees the pay equity dashboard, legal has access to reports and signature documentation, CFOs approve merit cycle budgets directly in the platform. More than 100 granular permissions control who sees what.

How does Claritava make sure we comply with the EUPTD?

The compliance dashboard provides one-click reporting and a complete audit trail, so your company is audit-ready at any time. The platform is built for the requirements that apply from 2026.

Can we use our own grading and job structures?

Yes. The matrix is fully customisable. The AI-supported job architecture takes on your existing roles and your grading logic.

How much can we save compared with classic HR consultants?

Up to 80 percent. Consultants typically charge EUR 50,000 to 200,000 a year for weeks of manual evaluation, Claritava delivers the analysis in real time from EUR 2,000 a year.

Does the software help close pay gaps, or only detect them?

Through the Equity Inbox you get a concrete recommendation and a structured workflow for every case, for individual pay gap cases as well as for employee requests.

Can I add further skills and responsibilities to a role?

Yes. In the job architecture, additional skills, main tasks and responsibilities can be recorded and maintained alongside the job description.

How many factors are stored in the job architecture?

Eleven in total. They are derived from the four evaluation categories: skills, effort, responsibility and working conditions.

Are roles from different departments compared with each other?

Yes. The architecture map lets you compare positions across departments in a matrix. The basis is the grade from the job architecture, which classifies all positions consistently.

Can I use the platform with several locations?

Yes. Claritava maps a flexible tree structure. You can view the entire company centrally or evaluate individual locations and organisational units separately.

Do I get alerts when the gender pay gap exceeds 5%?

Yes. The Compliance & Equity Inbox shows all alerts and critical cases in one place. You can accept and justify a case, flag it for the next review cycle, close it or reject it. The whole decision path stays traceable.

How do I bring existing HR data into the platform?

Via standardised interfaces to common HRIS systems or by CSV import. Existing data can be transferred without extra manual effort.

Pay Equal. Pay Fair.
